SentryWorld

Sentry has decades-long commitment to golf

The new corporate sponsor for the Sentry Tournament of Champions on the PGA TOUR is no stranger to the game of golf. Sentry Insurance built SentryWorld, Wisconsin’s first destination golf course, in 1982. The course, originally designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr. and redesigned in 2013–2014 by Jones, Bruce Charlton, and Jay Blasi, was ranked number 34 in Golf Digest’s 2017 “America’s 100 Greatest Public Golf Courses,” among numerous other awards.

SentryWorld Golf Course in Stevens Point, Wis., has been selected by the USGA as the host site for the 71st U.S. Girls’ Junior Championship. A public, parkland course in central Wisconsin, SentryWorld will host its second USGA championship July 22–27, 2019.

Our golf course

Wisconsin’s first destination golf course, our public course can truly be enjoyed by players of all skill levels—challenging low-handicap golfers with narrow corridors off the tee and looming fairway hazards, while offering recreational players countless opportunities to incorporate their preferred style of play. The SentryWorld Golf Course combines the character and versatility of the country’s finest modern courses with a welcoming atmosphere and stunning natural beauty.

SentryWorld hole 11

The 11th hole includes many subtleties that increase the “fun factor,” according to course co-architect Bruce Charlton, including a water backdrop, solitary greenside bunker, and the twin rows of trees along the fairway as you approach the green.

SentryWorld hole 12

SentryWorld’s gorgeous par three 12th hole sends your tee shot over a section of the big lake onto a peninsula green bracketed by small bunkers and water on three sides. While there’s no fairway between you and the green, numerous tees along the water’s edge provide golfers of all abilities an opportunity to hit the green.

SentryWorld hole 16

The hole that made SentryWorld famous. Known throughout the golf world simply as “the Flower Hole,” this par three features more than 33,000 flowers surrounding its green. As beautiful as this hole is, however, it’s just as challenging. Three bunkers sit between your tee shot and the green, with a fourth directly to the left of the green.

SentryWorld hole 18

Though the 18th hole provides you with picturesque views of SentryWorld’s stunning architecture as you approach the green, be sure to maintain your focus—this par four is as challenging as it is rewarding. Three fairway bunkers await you off the tee, just as the hole doglegs to the left, while another three bunkers guard the green.

SentryWorld hole 1

SentryWorld’s first hole introduces you to many of the course’s defining elements, welcoming you while also testing your mettle. An inviting fairway is bracketed by white sand bunkers as it doglegs left, guiding you toward the diagonal green, where a kicker slope to the left offers a fine alternative to the bunkers on the right.

SentryWorld hole 3

This is where SentryWorld’s big lake first comes into play. A downhill par three, the third hole sends tee shots directly toward the water, but a large and forgiving green stands between you and the hazard. Before you tee off, take a few moments to enjoy the “infinity green” view.

SentryWorld hole 4

SentryWorld’s fourth hole is a drivable par four, but there’s more to this hole than its welcoming length. Water awaits errant shots off to the left, while wooded areas to the right and left require precision to avoid. Finally, the green is partially fronted by water, with bunkers to the back and right.

SentryWorld hole 5

The 5th hole is a classic cape hole that wraps around the shore of SentryWorld’s big lake, this hole encourages power off the tee, precision in your approach, and thoughtful decision-making throughout.

SentryWorld hole 9

SentryWorld’s front nine concludes with one of the most unique holes on the course, a risk/reward par five featuring a double fairway split by a creek that meanders all the way to the green. A “gambler’s shot” is available along the right fairway, offering a tempting path to the green that puts the creek in play.

SentryWorld holes 12 and 13

SentryWorld’s gorgeous par three 12th hole sends your tee shot over a section of the big lake onto a peninsula green bracketed by small bunkers and water on three sides. With the 13th hole you’ll send your tee shot directly over the lake onto a straightaway fairway. The green hugs the shoreline slightly and is bookended by two small bunkers.

SentryWorld holes 17 and 18

SentryWorld’s par four 17th hole offers a wide, welcoming fairway off the tee before it doglegs to the right. An imposing wall of trees lines the right side from tee to green. The expanded water hazard directly behind the green provides all the encouragement you need to avoid sending your approach long before heading to the par four 18th hole with three fairway bunkers off the tee, with another three bunkers guarding the green.
